Before your responses I wrote to Maurilio, after old xHarbour tests.
This is his reponse:
----------------------------------------------
David,
I think OS/2 support for printers has never been written. I don't know if
opening "LPTn:" as a file is enough for a line printer, it surely is not
enough for a modern printer, say a laser or ink-jet one.
Maurilio.

Tested with old xHarbour ( Dec 2006 ) and current Harbour
Result is:
Locking record 1: .F.
in program started in second place ( Harbour-xHarbour, xHarbour-Harbour )
Perhaps in recent xHarbour it can lock fine, but Dec 2006 is after date
of Maurilio's changes ( 2006-06-06 )
You and Maurilio can decide about adding Maurilio's
modifications to Harbour OS2/GCC builds.
But I need to learn how to rebuild current xHarbour under OS/2 :-)
